New dating apps and social-networking startups are emerging. Read the pitch decks 6 used to raise millions of dollars.

From social networks focused on getting people to meet IRL to dating apps taking on Tinder or Hinge, some startups are disrupting the digital social scene.

For instance, the IRL-social app 222, which matches strangers over dinner or activities with a personality quiz, raised a $2.5 million seed round from venture capital firms like 1517 Fund, General Catalyst, and Best Nights VC.

“We’re entering this new wave of social where people are trying to revert back to what people really use these platforms for to begin with — which is connection,” Maitree Mervana Parekh, a principal at Acrew Capital, told Business Insider.

Some funds — like French firm Intuition VC, which launched this year — have made tackling loneliness part of their investment theses.

It’s not yet clear how many of these investments will pan out. Some of the startups are pre-revenue, while others are experimenting with monetization methods, with many leaning into freemium models.

“Founders have to be honest with themselves,” said Marlon Nichols, a founding partner at Mac Venture Capital. “Some of them aren’t really venture-scale or venture-type investments. We’re looking for the next big thing, the next category leader.”

BI spoke with several social-media and dating app founders about how they are raising capital — including the pitch decks they used to raise millions of dollars.
